I grew up playing hockey, and It's far and away my all time favorite sports movie....if I'm ever lucky enough to meet Rob, I've got a Youngblood tee shirt I would love to have him sign.
Wilford Brimley was born in 1934 and Cocoon was released in 1985. I'm sure people can do the math. Tom Cruise is 57 years old, which actually makes him older by a few years. Even more impressive.
Have you seen Mr Cruise shirtless in TG2? He looks like one of those old men they get to do supplements commercials...."Are you you over 55? Want to get that body back again?"
A few amazing facts 1. Wilford Brimley is still alive 2. He is "only" 85" I thought he was in his 80's when he was doing all the diabeetus commercials in the 90's.
LOL...I do remember first finding out his age back in the day and I was stunned how much "Older" he looked compared to his actual age. My favorite role of Mr. Brimley was in "The China Syndrome" ....supporting actor but man he nailed his part!
Thought Rob was a big headed typical hollywood "Look at me " star genre. Book reveals ordinary kid cast into limelight he was ill equipped to handle!'He talks about other young stars as if they too are just regular young men doing what young guys do. Finding and feeling their ways . Underneath Rob was never comfortable in his own skin ,trying to live up to the hype surrounding him,Beat alcoholism, sober for many years. Happy marriage, 2 sons ! Yes he was blessed in the looks dept, but that was also a curse in other no so good ways.
18,530 days old is the Brimley Cocoon line. When you reach it ask yourself "Do I look as bad as Brimley did in 85?" Most of us will pass with flying colors.
These obscure facts like Cruise is doing stunts now at the same age Wilford Brimley was during Cocoon. Then Lowe saying yea. Doing new with Brimley. Lowe has all these stories because when he first started every woman in Hollywood and most of the men wanted to sleep with him. While most of us were working at McDonalds trying to get through high school he was hanging out at the Playboy mansion.
